Glad to see you here Dustin. Weaver has been good to me along the way, and I am sure the others here will benefit from your involvement in this web-sight.

Welcome Dustin. I very recently dealt with Sheryl and Dani setting up my wholesale account and getting an order put together for a rush project for a wedding. (Long story) They were a joy to work with and I have standardized most of my hardware on Weaver supplies since you have the quality and durability I am looking for. I'm just getting to know my new Little Wonder and got the snap setter figured out yesterday. What a pleasure to use.

Now, if we could just convince you to stock Tiger Thread and European style pricking irons, I wouldn't have to go anywhere else... :)

I second stocking Tiger thread. Dustin, I talked to our Weaver sales rep today (Marcus Miller) about stocking the Tiger thread as well. Hopefully we will see some in that line soon!

This isn't the first request I have heard for Tiger thread. We will put it on the list for consideration next year. Thanks for the suggestions and welcomes.

Now, on the thread...can someone point me in the right direction? I see that this is Ritza thread? What # would be what you want? Is there a source domestically I could buy a sample?

Dustin, it's Ritza 25 specifically.

Rocky Mountain Leather out of Utah sells it in 25m lengths (At a HUGE markup) and in 1.0 mm spools for a few colors, also at a rather large markup. I assume this is to cover the shipping, which he tends to do for free with larger orders.

Otherwise it's Abbey England. And their web site is currently hosed so you can't pay unless you live in the UK. Go ahead, ask me how I know that...

http://www.abbeyengland.com/Store/tabid/77/ProductID/68933/CategoryID/202/Category2ID/27/List/1/Level/2/language/en-GB/Default.aspx?addmessage=success_c_Tiger+Polyester+Braided+Thread+Waxed++++

I just ordered one spool of about half of their entire line. (It's nice to have a day job still) The $50 shipping is less than the markup on just a few rolls buying it domestically, and I can get it in ALL sizes/colors.

The most common size used is quite likely 1mm. It offers the widest array of colors and seems to be the most popular size in videos I have watched. I suppose that's why RML stocks it as their only full spool size. However, I ordered .6, .8 and 1.0 from RML in the small spools so I can compare and 1.2 and 1.4 from Abbey. Having sewn with .8 and 1.0 already, I see uses for having all sizes in stock, especially if one also happens to have pricking irons in different stitch lengths.

That being said, I suspect if you stocked whole spools of 1.0mm in cream, tan, havana, mid-brown, brown, and black - you would have a LOT of very happy customers. As long as you also stock John James needles to go with them. ;)

I use mostly .8mm for bags and .6mm for wallets. And yes, I need to order again soon from Abbey England. Hopefully they'll let me pay... :-/

Hello Dustin,

I'd be happy to send you a yard or two of the colors I have of Ritza: I sell some of my excess ritza 1.0mm (purchased from abbey england by the spool) through my etsy store, so if you're interested just put in a "custom" request there and I'll send some over, no charge-- Having an easy state-side supply is well worth a couple bucks in shipping to get it to you. Here's my listing: https://www.etsy.com/listing/240689473/lowest-price-10mm-ritza-25-tiger-thread?ref=shop_home_active_1

If Weaver Leather would sell the Ritza 25 Tiger thread 1.0mm on 500m full spools in different colors, I would be ordering from them all the time. I'm also guessing that any Tiger thread would be flying off the shelf like it's the end of the world.
